<p>So everyone knows that you can go on collegeboard and see the middle 50% of SAT scores, right? Well I did some calculations of my own based on CCers who were accepted into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.</p>
<p>Average SAT score for a CCer accepted to Princeton: 2312
Average SAT score for a CCer accepted to Yale: 2296
Average SAT score for a CCer accepted to Harvard: 2187</p>
<p>If anyone would like me to do this for other schools, let me know.</p>
<p>lol wow that's funny the discrepancy. Then again, you are looking at it an amazingly small window for a test group.</p>
<p>Guess which school accepted the fewest applicants? Harvard? And guess which school had the lowest SAT average? Harvard!! Kind of interesting...</p>
<p>While not foolproof, I am personally sick and tired of basing my chances on the huge 50% window we see everywhere for the top schools. This is more of an accurate picture...</p>
<p>This is definitely not an accurate picture.</p>
<p>Invoyable, I never said it was 100% accurate. I believe my words were "While not foolproof..."</p>
<p>I just wanted to get a more pointed average than "middle 50 % has 2090 - 2360." There's a lot of numbers in between that range...</p>
<p>But I agree with you that it is not totally accurate, a lot of information is left out. Just take it for what it is worth!!!</p>
<p>You can find more accurate numbers online...</p>
<p>Collegeboard posts some averages for about every college in the country. Here's the link to Princeton, and from there you can navigate to any school.</p>
<p>Academic</a> Tracker - Meet College Admission Requirements - High School Class Selection</p>
<p>Ha...</p>
<p>I know someone with a 2400 who was accepted to Princeton, didn't even want to go, and was waitlisted by Harvard--ultimately rejected.</p>
<p>^ ouch. Where did s/he go?</p>
<p>Hmm, I actually like this! I know it's not entirely correct,but, I'm also tired of seeing myself in the mid 50% knowing there's no way I'll be accepted to that college. </p>
<p>Can you possibly do that for Dartmouth and Brown too? Thanks, btw.</p>
<p>Poisonous, those are the stats that I am talking about and don't like because they are too broad!!</p>
<p>Sugar_sweet: I am glad you like this!! Give me a few minutes and I can do that for Brown and Dartmouth too...</p>
<p>Average SAT score for a CCer accepted to Dartmouth: 2281
Average SAT score for a CCer accepted to Brown: 2318</p>
<p>This is based on the CCers who listed their scores on CC. But CollegeBoard does the same thing right!!!</p>
<p>This is just my guess, but I think colleges self-report their averages.</p>
<p>wait do these averages include URMs/recruited athletes?</p>
<p>I am not sure. My guess is if there were an exorbitant amount of URMs and recruited athletes, the average would be lower.</p>
<p>ivleague, you use the phrase "while not foolproof". that implies that your predictions are pretty close but not on the dot. except they aren't even close. A 2187 is certainly not going to be the average for Harvard.</p>
<p>yeah, so I think that in order to realistic, it would be necessary to weed out URMs and recruited athletes or any other special case. That way we could be realistic on good/bad our SAT scores really are to these colleges</p>
<p>A list of the 25% and 50% at all ivies can be found on the website for Ivy League consultants, just google it.</p>
<p>I think ppl are inflating the important of AA, for admission to Ivy League schools, what is does is not let underqualified minorities in, it boosts equally qualified ppl, and if you think thousands of minorities (not including asians bc well you know) are not making 2200+ then i think that would be in error. Only a select few minorities apply and the ones that do, do it bc they are qualified.</p>
<p>Well said, Dbate, well said.</p>
<p>Hmm, that Dartmouth score made me happy :-) My ACT equiv. falls almost exactly on your calculated score. At this I don't even care if the scores are right hahaha. They're like my little security blanket that I can look at and tell myself that maybe my scores will make up for my lack of awards :-(</p>
